[@Mrquartermile]

there videos form FDNY still amaze me. Seeming so many and seeing trends on how they fight fire is almost shocking. How they can let every fire go threw the roof and destroy the entire build is amazing. Watching this video for instance, why keep putting water on the top floor when it's all burned away? Why not work on the floor below where all the heavy active fire is? Set the first tower up and start spraying water but then move the bucket and the wind blows most of the water away. Why not leave it on the one side facing the wind and use the wind to your advantage? Its like they almost try to make it look like they are doing something but actually trying to burn the building down..

Thank u, I was thinking the same thing

[@BReese504]

Exactly. There should have been master streams flowing at it way earlier. Several aerials set up but not being used. I dont understand. Even the biggest fire department in the nation can drop the ball on quick water application/evaluating fire conditions. That fire was master stream size from the start of the video, also seemed wind driven. Hand lines were obviously not effective on initial attack with this one.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

They always do this 100's of firefighters and 10 trucks all standing around chatting and watching it burn. Usually after about 20 mins they decide to use the ladders and put some water on it. I think they want to let it take hold good and proper to involve more of the building, so they can demonstrate they can put out a really big fire.

It's a simple case of don't go to the fire wait for it to come to you.

[@michaelb9529]

Well if there ever a reason to cut back the budget. I saw a bunch of ladder trucks and tower trucks that were doing sweet F all. Well I should correct myself one was getting the top of the ladder good and roasted. This excuse/reason to not deliver water in the windows via the ladders and towers due to FFs being inside. Its true that steam burns are very serious. But 16 icebergs melted before any FFs were inside the building. Until the got inside they could have put a lot of water through the windows. The tower nozzle cam be controlled from the bottom. But no it just was raised for the sake of raising it...and putting hours on it. Well maybe I'm wrong they would have to find a hydrant and sent up supply lines. Which came first? The ladder or the hydrant because it certainly wasn't the water. That was a display of having far to many apparatus. Less vehicles with more FF on them. Way cheaper and WAY safer as very heavy trucks that are difficult to maneuver and stop. Less apparatus saves tons of money. Also there is no reason in this day and age that every ladder doesn't come with a nozzle permanently attached to the top. Again there is that tradition. It's been a couple of decades in the metropolitan area I live in that didn't have mounted nozzles on their ladders, towers and quints. In my humble opinion large older department kinda get stuck in their ability to progress. They are to attached to tradition and not modernizing. Old School...repeat as necessary

Why do we only see these kind of fires in the US? It looks like Bangla Desh - but at least there, they arrest the people who build such firetraps. Once again, a fire reaches the cockloft, and is able to spread very fast over the whole complex, and destroy the topfloor and part of a lower floor. 'Yes, ma'm, this building is safe; there's firewalls all over the place'....but they forget to say that the firewalls only go as high as the ceiling of the topfloor, leaving the cockloft completely open (or maybe separated by some flammable chipboard), and act as a fuse for a fire to spread it across the whole building, even to the other wing!! Don't bitch about the FD; I don't think there's much they could have done with a fire like this; there's no single place to make a stand. Great video, though; should be mandatory viewing for architects, builders, and building inspectors.

[@33lex55]

@@lindahoff7391 Hmm, sadly enough, I do. Yeah, I have seen the Grenfell tower fire, and it was a horror. But have you seen any such fires after that in Europe? I think most governments took steps to make sure it would not happen again, or in their countries. Compare that to the situation in the US: these cockloft fires occur on an almost daily basis (and those are only the ones we see on KZbin). And it's the same type of penny-pinching at the root of it. Penny-wise and pound-foolish, we'd call that. At the end of the day, YOU as a home-owner or as a renter PAY the cost (higher taxes to pay for the FD, and higher premiums for your fire-insurance) as a result of builders cutting corners by using cheap materials and cheap construction methods. BTW: you mentioning the Grenfell Tower fire is typical; it's the only big and tragic fire in a long time in Europe - that is why you remember it. You do NOT remember the big Avalon fires in the US, coz there were quite a few. Look it up.

@@JB91710 Yes, apparently they follow a protocol, that tells them to NOT do anything on the outside of the building, as long as there are FF's inside working on an internal attack. That makes sense, if you can not communicate directly to the FF's inside to warn them to get - temporarily - out of harm's way. But don't FF's have 2-way communication, these days? If not, they should get it. And sometimes, you can see stuff burning on the outside, which could easily be put out, without interfering with the FF's inside at all. Just following a protocol can be dumb, sometimes.
